Annual Fund

Annual Fund gifts support the people and programs that make Woodside Priory School a great learning community every day!

Research has shown that students learn best in an environment that encourages creativity, interaction and daily one-on-one attention. The Priory provides that type of environment by keeping class size small as well as by attracting the very best teachers. One hundred percent of contributions to the annual fund are used to support these values in the next school year.

A Priory education costs about $4,000 more per student than tuition provides. The annual gifts of parents, grandparents and other relatives, alumni, alumni families, trustees, and Priory faculty and staff are the major contributors to closing that gap.

The Priory has a tradition of ranking at or near the top of independent schools in the Bay Area in the per-student amount of gift support for current operations. We invite you to join one of our giving clubs and make an investment in Priory students'education today!
